Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
Microsoft SharePoint Server contains a remote code execution vulnerability tracked as CVE-2023-24955 and assigned CWE-94. The flaw permits an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code on affected SharePoint installations. It carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and the requirement for high privileges.
An authenticated user with administrative rights can send a crafted request over the network to achieve full code execution, resulting in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the SharePoint server. No user interaction is required and the attack does not cross trust boundaries.
Microsoft’s advisory at msrc.microsoft.com directs administrators to apply the security update released for supported SharePoint Server versions. CISA has added the CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, indicating that federal agencies must remediate according to the published deadlines.
The vulnerability maintains a high EPSS score of 0.9179, consistent with observed in-the-wild exploitation activity.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
